Application & user
The Century Drill & Tool 38588 is a 7-1/2 inch Power Ship Auger Bit designed for boring deep, clean holes in treated wood and poles. It suits professionals and DIY users who need reliable performance with a power drill or hand brace. The single spur and single cutter geometry targets controlled material removal in demanding timber applications.
Sustained-load behaviour
The solid center twist reduces vibration during extended drilling sessions, helping maintain hole accuracy and user comfort. Its single cutter design clears chips steadily without clogging when working through dense treated lumber. The bit maintains cutting efficiency across the full depth of the hole without wandering.
Installation & common issues
The bit fits standard power drill chucks and hand braces for straightforward setup. A common issue occurs if the single spur dulls prematurely in abrasive treated wood, leading to wandering starts. Users should ensure the shank is fully seated and avoid excessive side pressure that can bend the solid center twist.

Questions about this item
How much vibration does the solid-center twist produce during all-day drilling in treated poles?
The solid center twist is designed to reduce vibration while the single spur and cutter clear chips, keeping the bit steady through deep holes in treated wood.
What shank style does the 38588 bit need to fit my power drill or hand brace?
The auger bit is made for standard power-drill chucks and traditional hand-brace jaws, so it fits the chuck or brace you already own.
Will the 7-1/2 inch length reach through the timber I normally bore with shorter bits?
At 7-1/2 inches the bit provides extra reach for deep, clean holes in poles and treated lumber where shorter augers fall short.
